Can anyone explain this video to me?

I for one would appreciate if people in the US would use proper English when cheering about somebody shooting the cops. It's very non-inclusive to non-native speakers to use such mumbo jumbo.

Give us time and the gibberish will be proper english.

The narrator in the video sounds very confused and may be under the influence of controlled substance.
As for the absence of anyone rendering aid to the police officers who were shot, it's a sad state of society where we often read of fainted or injured individuals not getting any help from strangers on the street. Trying to imagine myself as a general member of the public at or near the scene, if I hear gunshots, my first instinct would most likely be to get away from it, hide somewhere safe, then maybe call 911 the public emergency number, and this fear-driven instinctual response would have nothing to do with the color or uniform of who got shot or who did the shooting.

he sounds like he's coherently expressing his excitement at the outcome of a sporting event in which he has a rooting interest. Beyond the vernacular, which I think Klaus was confused about, there was nothing about his narration that seemed disentangled from reality.

He sounded as high as a kite to me. Not that that's an excuse.
One of the stereotypes we always used to hear about Americans back in the 80's was that they wouldn't come to the aid of people who'd been shot. This isn't quite the same thing, but still....

Yes I'm sure the other random sampling of the people on the street cheering "no justice no peace" were all high as kites too. Until it becomes a vicious ethnic stereotype that people in such situations expressing such emotions are high as kites, at which time we will somberly conclude that indeed, without justice, there can be no peace.
-
No, the other people didn't sound high. He did.
And I'm not trying to make excuses for anybody. People who celebrate anybody being killed like this are animals.
